• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

630 Sliders

My bars are always the first to hit the deck and have (as yet) never damaged much else. I bend the bars back in shape with a length of gas pipe but had to change the clamp once (warped).

My bars hit first as well. The HDB handguards took most of the damage, followed by the rear axle. The most expensive part I had to replace was the rear axle & nut; about $80.

Sure was cheaper than throwing a sportbike down the pavement.
 
Got tired of waiting on peg sliders, so i grabbed some delrin from my leftovers and made some... they're big, but they're self-clearancing, haha. They are horseshoe notched to mate up with the peg and not spin.

Nice. I have 510 pegs on my bike, so I just bought the peg sliders for that model.

Yeah I thought about it, these were free though...:p

I've got long legs, so even when I'm on the balls of my feet, my toes hit about the same time as the pegs if I'm in the high speed "ride like a sportbike" stuff. We'll see how long these hold up between that and the leg-swinging twisty stuff...
